SlaterPaull Architects of Denver has been selected to provide architectural services for several higher education projects throughout the state, including the renovation of the Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

SlaterPaull also is involved in the renovation of the 5th Street Hub building on the Auraria Higher Education campus, a program plan for Colorado State University’s Rockwell Hall at the College of Business, and the $12 million academic office building at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

The $2.6 million renovation of Fiske Planetarium includes an extensive technology upgrade in order to keep the planetarium up-to-date and able to serve the university and the community for years to come.

The first phase of the 5th Street Hub renovation will include the UCD automotive engineering program and the MSU biodiesel program, both of which will be completed for the start of the 2013 spring semester.

SlaterPaull will provide architectural programming services and potential design services for an addition and renovation to CSU’s Rockwell Hall.

The green architectural firm is targeting LEED Gold certification for the facility at UCCS that will house faculty and staff offices.
